“…Natural fiber composite has a good demand in the world for environmental and ecological concerns [12]. Among all the natural fibers, jute appears to be a promising material because it is relatively inexpensive and commercially available in tropical countries [13, 14, 15]. It has low density, higher strength, and modulus than plastic and is a good substitute for conventional fibers in many situations.…”

Jute fabrics and unidirectional jute fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) based composites were prepared successfully by compression molding technique. The unidirectional jute fiber was treated with Reactive Orange HB® and Deep Blue LW® dye to investigate physico-mechanical properties. The Reactive Orange HB® treated composites showed relatively better mechanical properties than the Deep Blue LW® treated composites. The jute fiber-based composites showed higher mechanical properties than that of jute-based fabrics. The polypropylene-based composites showed better mechanical properties than that of LLDPE. The variations of mechanical properties were also observed. The highest mechanical properties were at -18 °C and lowest at 50 °C. Water absorbent, SEM and FT-IR analysis of the composite was also carried out.

“…When compared to pure PP the presence of nano clay in the composites improves the T c value to a greater extent. Thermal properties analysis on the hybrid composites prepared using banana and jute fiber [9,10] reinforced in the epoxy matrix have been fabricated and it was inferred that the addition of equal weight percentage of jute that is 50%wt possess excellent thermal and mechanical properties. The tensile, flexural and impact strength of the composites were increased by means of the hybrid fiber and the thermal property starts to decline in few weight percentage combination which is improved by means of fiber treatment also reported.…”

The usage of banana natural fibers along with polymer matrix composites had created much interest among the researchers due to their low cost, easy availability, strength and enhancement in properties such as mechanical, wear, electrical and thermal. Banana plant is cultivated all over the world which is familiarly used as food products especially banana fruit as well as many household items made from banana fibers. The natural fiber extracted from the banana stem proves to be a potential reinforcement in the composite manufacturing. This review is very much needed because of the enormous research reported on the banana fiber reinforced polymer composites, with such an excellent property offered by this banana fiber reinforcement the impact of hybridization and its need also to be addressed. This brief review article gives a detail information about the combinations of various hybrid composites produced using the banana fiber along with various other natural/synthetic fibers in the polymer matrixes and its performance improvement especially in the mechanical and thermal properties. From the review it was inferred that 30–50% increase in all the mechanical properties such as Tensile, Flexural and Impact strength. Also in addition an enhancement in thermal and moisture resistance also noted. In addition during this review the research gap observed is that the development of bio composites based on banana fiber is very limited and also the influence of banana fiber along with bio resin needs to be studied. The properties such as fatigue, fire resistance also to be analyzed using the banana fiber reinforcement.

Finite element method has been widely applied in modeling natural fibers and natural fiber reinforced composites. This paper is a comprehensive review of finite element models of natural fibers and natural fiber reinforced composites, focusing on the micromechanical properties (strength, deformation, failure, and damage), thermal properties (thermal conductivity), and macro shape deformation (stress–strain and fracture). Representative volume element model is the most popular homogenization-based multi-scale constitutive method used in the finite element method to investigate the effect of microstructures on the mechanical and thermal properties of natural fibers and natural fiber reinforced composites. The representative volume element models of natural fibers and natural fiber reinforced composites at various length scales are discussed, including two types of geometrical modeling methods, the computer-based modeling method and the image-based modeling method. Their modeling efficiency and accuracy are also discussed.
